Chuck Kopp
On May 14th, 1948, Israel became a nation and Charles “Chuck” Kopp was born. He would go on to serve in this new nation for most of his life. He moved to Israel at the age of 18, never left and lived through the major events of Israel’s history like the 1967 Six-Day War. During those days, Chuck’s bedroom was hit by bullets and had a gaping hole from an artillery shell. Towards the end of the Six-Day, Chuck went to the Old City and like many other Israelis saw the Western Wall for the first time.

UK too slow to act on new Covid variants
Just as the further easing of lockdown restrictions is announced, we are advised that another ‘variant of investigation’, currently ravaging India, is now in the UK.
Although this variant has been on the radar for some time and even when concerns were escalating, India was not classed a ‘red travel zone’ and flights to the UK continued unabated.
